| Abstract: | The Sponsor Approval System, approved in 1979 by the APA Council of Representatives, was developed in response to an increasing emphasis on more formalized continuing education programs for psychologists, with the accompanying need for methods of recognizing qualified providers. The system provides national standards for continuing education in psychology, a computerized APA Continuing Education (CE) Registry, and a calendar/clearinghouse. Sponsor applications are evaluated according to the established criteria and standards, which are available from the Continuing Education Program Office. The continuing education activities of approved sponsors are entered into the CE Registry, which provides a means for psychologists to maintain a centralized record of continuing education credits earned in activities offered by approved sponsors. The "CE Calendar" of approved sponsors' activities is published bimonthly in the APA Monitor. This article provides a list of continuing education activities which have been approved by the Subcommittee on CE Sponsor Approval. Programs that have not applied for approval, programs whose applications are in process, and programs approved since October 31, 1981, are not included.
